Question BMR bolt in lca relocation brackets

I have some that I intend to install tomorrow. The hardware is just one bolt and a sleeve almost for each side. Im asuming that these are used to install the LCA to the bracket. Do the brackets use stock bolts that are on the car already to mount up or do I need to pick up some bolts from the hardware store? Also, with stock suspension what hole should I use, I have been told the last one and the middle one already. I want the best straight line traction possible.

The BMR kit should have sent 4 new blots and nuts. they are longer and heavier duty. USE all 4.

I picked up some bolts from a hardware store to replace the stock bolts that I had to cut off (really rusty). You may need to do the same, because I think the BMR kit uses the stock hardware AND the new hardware. I used the weld-in kit, though. I would reccommend having them welded in after you bolt them in. Just my .02

which position do you use for stock height suspension when wanting the best straight line traction?

from what I understand brackets are a waste of money. all you are a set of revalved Bilsteins and 2* down angle on the pinion.

I would imagine the bottom holes, since that most radically alters your geometry. I put in those brackets and could tell a difference in the way the car launched. I took off my front sway bar and it was awesome. The front end really pops up a little.

I dont know where you have heard this but pretty much everybody on here who has aftermarket lcas will get the brackets also because they make such a difference.

don't knock it till you try it.
I noticed a huge difference on 4 different cars, 2 lowered and 2 stock height.
